.mu or .com? Start with the customers you want to reach.

Compare the practical differences

Prices update in your selected currency. Premium names can have different pricing and are excluded from the quick registration search.

Choose .mu when Mauritius is part of your identity

For a business focused on Mauritian customers, .mu makes the location visible in the address itself. It can suit a local service, shop or organisation whose customers already associate it with Mauritius.

You can use the domain for a website and email, or register it before the website is ready. Read the .mu registration guide for requirements and next steps.

Choose .com when you want a broader address

A .com is a sensible option when your audience spans several countries or your business name has no geographic focus. Compare availability for the exact name and the ongoing renewal cost.

The extension does not restrict who can visit your site. A .mu website can serve international customers, and a .com website can serve Mauritius.

If you register both, choose one main address

If both names matter to your business and fit the budget, you can register both and use one as the main website address. Redirect the other to it, and use the main address consistently in links and business materials.

Keep track of both renewals. Registering a second name is a branding decision, not a requirement for running a website.

Neither extension guarantees search rankings

Your domain choice helps explain your identity, but it does not replace useful pages, accurate business information and a working website. Avoid choosing an extension solely because someone promises it will put you first on Google.

Pick the address you want customers to remember, then build a website that answers their questions.
